Summary: Different coarse aggregate gradations were investigated to examine their effect on the performance of geopolymer permeable concrete. Comprehensive tests including physical, mechanical, and resistance to dry-wet cycle-sulfate erosion and planting were conducted. It was observed that with the improvement of coarse aggregate gradation, the porosity of the concrete decreased while the compressive strength, energy absorption capacity, and elastic modulus increased. The planting test showed that Ryegrass and Tall fescue exhibited better germination rates and growth heights, while Bermudagrass had poor adaptability.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to identify the differences in porosity and permeability coefficients with different aggregate mixing ratios and to propose a mixing ratio that meets the strength requirements. The experiments showed that the proportion of aggregates significantly affects the strength and permeability of concrete, with an increase in fine aggregates leading to a decrease in porosity and permeability.

Summary: This paper investigates the influence of aggregate size, shape, and specimen size on the mechanical properties of pervious concrete. The experimental results show that increasing aggregate size and specimen height lead to a decrease in compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural strength. The use of size effect models allows for accurate prediction of the strength of non-standard specimens based on known standard specimens.

Summary: This paper investigated the mechanical and permeability performances of pervious concrete mixtures produced using different aggregates and fibers. The results showed that the pervious concrete specimens exhibited adequate mechanical performance, particularly with the inclusion of polypropylene fibers and steel fibers, which significantly improved the permeability performance and abrasion resistance. Moreover, using smaller-sized and more uniform aggregates generally increased the overall performance of the pervious concrete specimens.

Summary: The study investigates the mechanical properties of mortar with plastic waste as the only binder under different curing conditions and granular material sizes, finding that these factors have a significant impact on the material's strength. Water curing reduces strength, while adding coarse granular materials helps improve strength. The proposed plastic waste binder interlocking pavers show superior mechanical performance compared to Portland cement-based pavers, with lower cost.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of using recycled concrete waste as aggregate and car tire rubber granules as partial substitution of natural aggregate in the production of pervious concrete. The results showed that replacing 50% of the aggregate weight with recycled concrete aggregate improved the mechanical properties of pervious concrete. However, replacing 10% of the aggregate volume with rubber waste aggregate reduced the compressive strength by a maximum of 11.4%. The addition of polymer fibers enhanced the compressive and tensile strengths of the concrete.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of aggregate size and notch depth ratio on the fracture performance of Steel slag pervious concrete (SSPC). The results showed that large-size aggregates can improve the fracture strength of SSPC and the fracture behavior of SSPC exhibits an obvious boundary effect.

Summary: This paper investigates the effect of rheological properties of fresh binder on the compressive strength of pervious concrete. The results show that adhesion energy has the best correlation with compressive strength. Additionally, the 3D CT scanning test demonstrates the impact of rheological conditions of the binder on the homogeneity of pervious concrete.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of different factors such as coarse aggregate size, geogrid position, and geogrid layer number on the permeability, strength, and flexural performance of pervious concrete. The results showed that proper placement of geogrids improved permeability and compressive strength, while also enhancing flexural strength, deformability, and energy absorption capability of pervious concrete beams. The study proposed a new evaluation method to distinguish the contribution of geogrids and concrete mixture to the flexural toughness of pervious concrete beams, with geogrids at one-third and two-thirds of the heights of the beams resulting in optimum flexural performance.

Summary: Pervious concrete has many advantages and applications, but its limited compressive strength and durability have restricted its use. This research found that the use of active additives and appropriate particle size distribution of coarse aggregate can improve the properties and durability of pervious concrete.

Summary: To mitigate environmental challenges, the study developed pervious concrete made from ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) to reduce the environmental impact of the construction sector. By replacing ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and modifying the binder-to-aggregate ratio, the mix proportion achieved maximum water permeability while meeting the required compressive strength. The permeability of pervious concrete was found to be positively correlated with porosity, regardless of binder type.

Summary: This study explores the mechanical performance and durability of silicate cement pervious concrete with resin composite materials. The optimal performance was observed in the concrete with 30% UP resin content as the binder. The addition of 10%~20% EVA material improved the ductility and durability of the samples.

Summary: This study evaluates the performance of pervious concrete produced with construction and demolition waste (CDW) aggregates. Different replacement levels of natural aggregates (NA) by recycled concrete aggregate (RCA), the use of rheology modifying admixture, and reduction of water-cement ratio were investigated. The laboratory and field results showed that RCA replacement improved hydraulic properties but decreased mechanical behavior of pervious concrete.
